I was allotted all of six bottles total from the legendary Booker’s and their teeny, tiny, Small Batch limited releases.
The batch is made up of five production dates that were aged in seven different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s “The Lumberyard Batch” is as follows:
2% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X
3% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5
3% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D
17% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
19% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q
28% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1
28% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
This batch was pulled during the rainy weeks ahead of the Kentucky Derby. The beautiful amber color of this batch reminds me of the horses that will compete on the racetrack. The aroma is deep with hints of vanilla and oak that lead you back to enjoy it several times to explore its depth. It has a balanced taste with a bit of sweetness and a pleasant finish that will leave you longing for another sip.

Michter’s always provides some of the best value in American Whiskey and they never miss. This one is their best bang for the buck bottling that they make. This is so smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof. This is a bit of a spicy number with those signature Rye peppery notes, butterscotch, creme brulee and a hint of toasted oak. One of my all-time favorite under $50 bottles.
Sinatra Select was a partnership with the Sinatra family and Jack Daniel’s that dates back to 2018. Jack as was always Sinatra’s go-to Whiskey, as was well-documented, so it makes sense that one of their most limited and special releases. They use these special barrels they designate as ‘Sinatra Barrels’ that have deep grooves carved into the staves specifically to expose the whiskey to extra layers of toasted oak. It’s bold with dried apricot notes, with a touch of honey, some vanilla and a layer of smokiness. It’s nothing like regular Jack Daniel’s, I can assure you of that.
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.
This particular beauty is not only Barrel Proof but also sees extended aging in 18-year old ex-Bourbon barrels which I think adds some roundness and weight to the mid-palate and gives you a smoother finished product. Another advantage that Old Hickory has is they have Pam Soule, Seagrams master blender in charge, and she has helped their quality reach heights never seen before from this historic distillery.
